Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
New verse:
|
Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by! |
|
|
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well! |
|
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed! |

Afternoon!
Are you going to paint everything white?
I just finished painting the fence and gate. It's time to fire up the grill and catch the rest of the race.

*sigh* It's in the 40s here, and rainy.
High tomorrow is supposed to be 35, and they're predicting snow tonight and tomorrow.
Lovely.
But it does make it awfully cozy, being inside with dinner in the crockpot and a good book.

We're supposed to get that rain on Tuesday. In the meantime, I need to water the pansies. And maybe I can get the crocus planted tomorrow. Miss Cat has been basking in the sun.

I was supposed to have rough character outlines done by the end of this weekend. *Sigh* NaNoWriMo hasn't started yet and already I'm behind.

I'm hoping by the time I have a few characters, a plot might come to me.
Guess I could always do an anthology type thing....a little vignette for each character.

I'm thinking of writing another story for my little sister...but I dunno what about. It's harder writing at that level, but on the other hand, I'd have motivation / a sense of urgency...which could mean it'd be easier to finish.

Well, at this point I'm not having any company at Thanksgiving nor am I going anywhere, so for me, it's nice. I can get caught up on school that I will have been neglecting in favor of NaNo.

Painting is the final project on the list. :-D
And we're thinking a light cream color instead of white.

*cracking up*
You have ~no~ idea, Corin.
We cleaned out both of those closets without a single roach sighting. Of course, afterwards as I'm taking a rest....
It ran under my bed, but then it disappeared.
I'm sleeping on the couch tonight.

"Why did they paint the whole house this caramel-chocolate color?"
Real Estate Lady: "So you can't see the roaches."
